Hi!

For some hosts I get the following messages in the log:

Feb 16 09:25:04 vivaldi postfix/smtpd[22781]: warning: 132.231.1.200: address not listed for hostname dodgers.fmi.uni-passau.de

and

Feb 16 16:53:21 vivaldi postfix/smtpd[28108]: warning: 141.2.20.2: address not listed for hostname hera.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de

hera.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de. 7h4m18s IN A 141.2.1.1
1.1.2.141.in-addr.arpa. 1D IN PTR hera.rbi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de.

While this happens frequently with the first box (dodgers), I first thought
this might be due to the two IP adresses.

From empirical experience, your Exchange admin needs to put down the
crack pipe and open a window to disperse the fumes.
